"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Its all fun and games until you realize that there are real people on the other end of the internets, real people that have real lives in addition to their moderator duties, real lives that require lots of time, time that should not have to be spent removing silly threads, silly thread that are inappropriate material. Stop being so insensitive!

Other than the need of being at least a man short, you not only are around enough to know the flow and feel of what flies on the site (that all sounded very Dr. Seuss), you have an argumentative style that goes more on facts than anger that should help mediate issues. I never have really given much thought on who should be mods from the masses, but offhand I can't think of any or many that wold be better. Thanks for taking on a thankless job.

We'll see how it all goes, but hopefully I can help take some of the burden off profitgoblue and Zone Left and the staff. I figure I get way more out of this place than I put in, so I didn't want to say no to an opportunity to help.

There's essentially no burden on me since I've got about 10 minutes on the site per day outside of reading on my phone. Basically, I'm a mod past his prime and sticking around too long...I just delete threads when I'm able.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well-known is this: never go up against trolls when death is on the line!!!

No, no, no. The startup wasn't even focused on doing some greater good in a community. MGoGoodwill is precious - more valuable than gold - and shalt not be exploited for personal gain without extremely good reason. This was not one. Consider this a warning. The next attempt like this by anyone will earn that OP a trip to Bolivian. In other words, attempt to spend MGoGoodwill carefully and wisely . . .

Dublin: Honestly the rest of Ireland is better. If you've got one full day and some pieces of days rent a car and do a day trip to something in the countryside.

Amsterdam: Red Light district late at night, Van Gogh museum and the area around it, try this food they serve that's raw hamburger on a bun with onions and and egg and some mustardy-mayo sauce on top. Take the boat tour. Sex museum. Get French food for breakfast.

Itay: Eat. If it's between rushing your meal and missing one of the sites, forget the site and eat. EAT MAN! You have the rest of your life to eat food that is not Italian. Did you know they won't let real Parmesan cheese leave Italy? You've been eating processed crap. Try real stuff. Have wine. Italian wine is not French wine; you don't need to know special vintages and whatnot because Italians think wine is for drinking.

The Vatican (they deport you if you make fun of their gestapo rules about who gets to go inside), and see if you can get on a speaking tour (or catch one up) when you do the ruins of the forum so you can see the greatest poltical drama ever reenacted on the spot it happened. The Collsseum definitely. The Pantheon definitely. Castel Sant'Angelo (Hadrian's Mausoleum). The Villa Borghese gardens.

Warning: most of Rome from Roman times is gone, or like they'll point to a pile of rocks and say "that's what's left of a 4th century emperor's palace that was built on top of the palace of any emperor you'd know." The Renaissance liked to idolize Ancient Rome but in the process it built all of that Romanesque stuff on top of the ruins. If you want to walk around a city that feels like the Roman Empire try Verona. Verona is a kick-ass day.

One idea that I had a while back was to go and re-read (or read for the first time) the classics. I found I liked books like Dracula and Count of Monte Cristo much more now that I'm older and can appreciate them more. Plus, Great Gatsby, Great Expectations, To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, and all those are always a good read.

Thanks but I've reread the classics enough times, that they are no longer classics in my eyes. Although it has been a long while since I've read The Catcher in the Rye, I guess that's where I'm going. Thanks and sorry for making you mod.

From high atop my MGoThrone ,I have sat and judged all you bastards unworthy.

This has nothing to do with Michigan. Plus, its not funny. Plus, its quasi-racist. Plus, it appears to make fun of Chick-fil-A, which everyone knows is the best fast food restaurant around (in case you don't know, choose the #1 and ask for Chick-fil-A sauce). Sasha Cohen called and wants his act back.
